That's a fucking amazing story there. You nailed the characters, the plot, the dialogue. LOVED it.

But I am *really* pleased to hear you liked it. It means a lot to me - especially the part about the plot because plots just kick my butt, I tell you! Damn nearly drove me to insanity working that out - and it's not like it's even that fucking complex!
Anyway, thanks - I appreciate it - immensely.
(PS: are you feeling the Rodney love yet?)

i think you write keller best of all, actually, better than any other character you've done. i think you do a superb job with him and you did a superb job with this. that wonderful tension between mckay's arrogance and his desire. i'm not feeling the love at all (like my men arrogant but a different kind...) but i am awfully fond of him ie, i might let him touch my boobie if he got me drunk enough but NOTHING MORE.

Exactly!
Actually, the fact that I'm posting at work is more of a concern...

AHA HA HA HA HA!! Oh, Rodney, won't you touch my boobie? That should be a song...

Ha! Yeah, it's a bit of a cheat to not go too far into depth about how McKay pulled it off, but let's just say he's a smart guy and Turnley is *so* not.
Glad it worked for you though. Thanks for commenting.:)

Hee! I love McKay. Not all that into SGA, but I do love McKay. And I always dig your Keller, so I just had to take a look at this. A great read, and a great pairing that actually works really well - or it could just be that you can pull off a crossover like nobody's business. The characters are so them, but with just enough flexibility around the edges that their respective universes don't clash. Or something.
Awesome work. :)
(Also, I squeed when the new lawyer came in at the end because I KNEW it was Toby.)

They're actually a lot easier to mesh than you think - it was amazing how much I kept thinking of Beecher when writing Rodney and Sheppard when writing Keller. Weird. There's a real brains versus brawn dynamic to both pairings - so transplanting one into the universe of the other wasn't that hard. And Keller is kind of a little black dress... he goes with everything and everyone.

Which is *great* because i agonised over whether that was too cute - but then I thought, what the hell, let's be cute. And my dear beta reader liked it so I figured that was at least one positive vote. *g*
So glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the lovely comments. :)

There were so many of us who'd come from Oz fandom to SGA so I thought it must be time for a combo. :)
You'd think Chris would eat Rodney alive, well, in a dangerous way, but I like how Rodney is able to hold his own against the tough guy.
Fortunately, Chris is a lover not a fighter. And while Rodney can be a little oblivious at times he's no dufus.
Very well done and it works. It's also a very hot idea.
I'm glad you thought so. Thanks for coming along on the wild and wacky ride with me. *g*
